Tara Gate to the Omsk Fortress. Built in 1792. The Fortress was at one time the largest in western Siberia, and the gates to it are a landmark of the city.
The largest May 9 artwork that I’ve seen. This is a building opposite the entrance to the Fortress. Reminds me of the Bundestag not inviting representatives of Russia and Belarus to the commemoration ceremony in Berlin.
„Central Military District – True to the traditions of Siberian warriors“. The world looks different from Siberia. You will not find Moscow on this map. Samara and Kazan are on the western edge here.
Dostoevsky was imprisoned in Omsk.
